Jonj238 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 How many model projects do you guys have going at the same time? Do you have one project going and stick with it until the end, or do you have 2 or 3 projects going and work on which ever one inspires you at the time?

landman Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I had three until tonight when I put one under glass. I have a 1934 Chevrolet Master and a 1963 Ford N600 in the works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guitarsam326 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I have one 32 Chrysler that keeps getting put on the back burner, I only do one truck at a time unless you count the thousands I build in my head! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne swayze Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I mostly have 2 or 3 more serious projects, and another 2 or 3 "idea" projects. Once I feel more comfortable with driving, I'll be able to get to my paint shop and make some progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Buckaroo Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Always a minimum of two - so I can work on something while paint drys. Currently I have 4 1/2 going. Two are waiting for shiny parts to be Alclad'ed (airbrush is being repaired) and they will be finished. My half project is a shortened hood to have for a future project.

Petetrucker07 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Right now I have 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superpeterbilt Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 10-15 is my sweet spot. I like to start a bunch of projects and be distracted by others and only finish about 2 a year. My problem is finishing. When I get it roughed out, so it looks like my vision, I feel slightly satisfied and move on to the next idea. Im not saying that Im happy with this system, but thats the way it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vintagedragcrazy Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I have at least 4 right now and about to start another one. Vince Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zarana-X Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 usually two or three builds, with a few repairs & touch ups added in. For some reason I thought it would be a good Idea to prep a bunch of bodies for paint...so right now, 6? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pim Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 at least 5 that are active and 4 that are awaiting for the others to be finished Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chunkypeanutbutter Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Right now... a Ford pickup, a Chevy 1500 prostreet, an Army surplus Chevy stepside, a shortened Baja VW Rabbit, a Civic, a Mini, a Caprice, a Del Ray, a couple go-kart-kinda things, a Datsun 240z, a Jeep hot rod, an Austin, two tractors, a bulldozer, a Porsche, and a boat.

StevenGuthmiller Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I usually try to keep it at 1 or 2. One main project with another one on deck. I find that if I keep only one project going at a time, & just force myself to keep going on it, (sometimes I have to give myself a little "goose") I finish them. Otherwise I get sidetracked & never finish anything. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shardik Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 (edited) Three; A WWII German recon tank; over 2000 parts, so I need to take frequent breaks from it to preserve what remains of my sanity, A 1:12 Bentley that keeps getting stalled by lack of specific ref' materials. And a hyper detailed '39 Chevy pro-street, for which I have now built and discarded three frames and two sets of headers. These three have actually been "on my bench" for over a year, during which time I have completed four other models (one at a time). So I guess you could say that I typically have four going at any one time. Edited February 22, 2015 by Shardik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnslow Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Too many, probably 20 - 30, but usually 3 active at a time, rotating for glue and paint drying time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atomicholiday Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Normally I'll have one or two that are my main focus and about 10 or so (no real set number) that I'll tinker with now & then. And the ten change all the time depending on my mood. I may pull one out, work on it for five minutes, put it away and not touch it again for years. Also, the closer one gets to completion, the less interested I am in anything else. I sort of zone in on that one. Right now my main focus is a P40-B, but yesterday I played around with the BMF on a GTO, and started cleaning up the mold lines on a Fairlane. Today? Who knows. As long as I keep working, it's cool.

Foxer Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Too many to count ..at least 20 last count. None are ever forgotten though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peekay Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I usually have only one car on my bench but I also have at least 20+ that are somewhere down the line to completion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Just counted. Close to 80, in various stages from gathering parts, notes, drawings, research pix etc., to a lot that are 1/2 finished, a few that are 3/4 finished, and one on the bench I'm trying to get done before I get into something else.

kitbash1 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I have 5 on the go at this time. A 1970 Bud Moore Trans-Am mustang,MPC Mclaren Mk8d Can-am, NASCAR race truck in ReMax livery, Union/Heller 917k in Martini livery and a Union/Heller 917k in Gulf colours. I try to work on any two kits during my build time on my days off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabrux Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Far too many! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramfins59 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I've tried working on several models together but I found that process never really works efficiently for me. So I will usually work on one car through to completion. At the moment I'm polishing out a '58 Imperial. I was previously working on a '59 DeSoto but I ran into paint problems so it's taking a bath in the paint stripper tub at the moment. Many other cars are lined up behind them in the TO DO pile.

Mike_G Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I usually stick with one until it's finished- right now it's a '48 Ford and I'm still trying to decide what color to paint it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
